For a while now I have struggled to have a good balance with this blog. It was intended to share stories of MAF’s work in PNG, stuff that is happening in PNG, what I get up to and sharing as well. So that there was more information shared than just newsletters. But it has easily become just stuff that I have been up to. It is not easy to share about everything that happens here and what I experience. Especially not to come across negative. The Aussie media does that very well when reporting about PNG. Also the website is very public and time consuming. In my last newsletter someone made the comment, that it sounds like I am having a really good time, although it must be hard at times and I always come across positive all the time. It is hard at times and I want to try to get back to a good balance and to be more authentic. To start off is a story by a Twin Otter pilot based at Telefomin, Keith Maag. I remember the day they brought the Twin Otter in with engine trouble (which ended up being swapped), but had no idea of their day until reading this story. You can find the story at MAF Australia’s website.
